Hmmm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] protist@mander.xyz -34 points 2 years ago (6 children) No? I don't know a single woman fleeing. I've had 3 trans friends/coworkers who have fled for sure, and I don't blame them one bit given the political climate here, even though their local communities are extremely supportive of them. But no, not a single woman. Where are you getting your information?

I had to drive like 3-4 hours to get anywhere and back home, its hot, no winter for the most part(and when there was, any plans I had that involved leaving the house had to be canceled), power grid is shit and has way too many rolling blackouts.
